it must be nice for you to live in such a clear world with no grey areas. The 7th October attacks were horrific and barbaric and brutal and what the Israeli state are currently doing is at least as horrific and barbaric and brutal.
And the mass starvation … and the murder of aid workers …
The one currently taking place in Palestine
I feel like “there is no question about this.” as a statement is just not true. there is definitely some debate about it.
I feel like trying to define a ‘firat punch’ in the shit show that has been palestinian-israeli relations is a fruitless task.
Surely a more productive avenue would be to seek common ground, shared humanity and a practical way forward among the moderates on both sides.
I mean I don’t agree with them but they could easily really with: “You’re fine with restricting women’s rights? You’re fine with a country controlled by corporations? You’re fine with police summarily killing people in the streets? You’re fine with a media that intentionally lies to manipulate parts of the population into attempting a coup? You’re fine with a small ghetto of inflected officials making arbitrary decisions on laws that take away fundamental rights based purely on religious and political ideology?”
A better argument would be to point to statistical data that shows that the US is still a better place to live than China. e.g. the US scores a 8.73 ^1 on the Freedom indeed while China only scored a 5.57 ^1.
Or direct to each country’s amnesty report. ^2 ^3
